Nile Red making lead sugar

I just read a comic about metrics becoming goals…

I appreciate your example language. That sounds like it could be a direct quote!

Yeah. Environmentalism, workers rights, social justice. Totally Milei’s core issues /s.

I believe this is the same issue with the other comment, taking what I wrote as a specific solution to a specific problem.

This issue of getting the police called is emblematic of a problem that dark-skinned people have, where they’re considered to be inappropriate for natural areas.

What I was getting at is that there are specific rural areas, with unhinged residents and poor policing, where no outsider should go. If I choose to go, I should expect to provide my own personal protection. Those locations would be vastly multiplied if I had dark skin, to the point that it might become more expedient to just always carry.

I’m certainly not saying it would be appropriate for anyone to arm themselves while hiking in the Alps, or when dealing with police or benign racism.

No. The resolution of this specific circumstance in this specific location is not what I mean by this shit.

By this shit I mean the general danger of being the wrong color in nature.

In Europe, there’s nearly zero chance of running into serious, life-threatening, interpersonal trouble on a hike, no matter your color. That is less certain in parts of the United States.

20-some years ago I lived in a precarious situation in the back of an old Black Panther karate dojo (I know). Newly-minted urban white boy that I was, it was, culturally, quite a learning experience.

I remember one of the guys (an outdoorsman from Louisiana) told me that he was always armed when he went hiking or camping. I didn’t get it at the time, but now I do. It wasn’t bears or mountain lions he was afraid of. It was this shit.
